Comment 100 for bug 568050

You keep /var/log separate because if your log files ever get to large it
doesn't overfill your root partition which would then stop you from booting.
 I'm using /boot to help speed things up and make sure that boot files stay
at the front of the logical disk. Giving /var/log is not unusual. It's a
best practices for many server installs. Some people give it it to just
/var but I prefer /var/log as I've never seen anything outside of /var/log
grow out of hand. I also use to run XFS as my main file type for root but
have decided to stop doing that since 9.10 as ext4 works well enough for OS
files. I'm not building a desktop. I'm building a server that I want to
stay up once it is built. When I build my laptops or desktops I just let it
go automatically.

Hope that answers your questions.
